Yes, but metre (as represented by a time sig) is an
underlying accent pattern. It's nothing to do with where we place accents when improvising, or even when playing a composed melody. Those things are often in deliberate contrast with the implied accents of a metre.
IOW, you're making a different point from the one under discussion
